The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) publishes Safety Alerts for aviation, as well as other modes of transportation. Check out this site http://www.ntsb.gov/safety/
The NTSB is an independent federal agency charged by Congress with investigating every civil aviation accident in the U.S. and significant accidents in other modes of transportation-railroad, highway, marine and pipeline.
Their Safety Alerts make interesting reading – check them out!
